- Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and internal accessories.
- Positioning: Place the appliance in its designated cabinet opening. Ensure adequate ventilation space as specified in the full installation manual.

Care
- Cleaning the Interior: Due to Eco Air Flow, consistent temperatures help reduce odors. For general cleaning, wipe down the interior with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and mild detergent. Remove shelves and drawers for thorough cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Freezer Care: Thanks to No Frost technology, you will not need to manually defrost the freezer. This significantly reduces maintenance effort.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Door Seals: Periodically check and clean door seals to ensure they are free from debris and form a tight seal, which is crucial for energy efficiency.
